- W2312936211 abstract "In the ancient heresiologists Ophites, Naassenes, Barbeloites, and Sethians have been woven into a Gordian knot so dense that it would bury any sword that tried to cleave it. They can all be differentiated from the Valentinians by negatives: the lack of a named heresiarch, the amorphous character of their extant writings, the opacity and infrequency of tenets or terms that are manifestly scriptural. Some deny that any patristic categories can help us through this imbroglio; others contend that the Sethians admit of demarcation, the rest being merely branches, scions, or chimerical representations of this group. Rasimus, partly endorsing but often challenging the studies of Hans-Martin Schenke and John Turner, proposes in this book to construct a typology for the Ophites, ‘men of the snake’, whom he believes to be distinct from and independent of the Sethians. Their leading presupposition—a Christian answer, as they saw it, to the dilemma which arose from the cult of two gods—is that the Saviour can redeem the works of the biblical demiurge only by undoing them. Pilferings from Greek myth imparted colour and a decorous obscurity to this gospel of revolt." @default.
